THE BOODLERS
WHAT WILL The HARVEST BRING
In the Way of Future Proceedings in the
Doodle Cases?
WILL 1T BE JAMES OR KING JAKE
A Question That IS Perplszing Some Metro
pOlitan Circles.

NEW YORK, March 26.-The question
that is agitating Doodle circles at present
is who will District Attorney MARITIME call
to the bar on Monday. His mysterious
motions to-day before Judge Barrett have
given no one a definite clew; but those
who know say that the guarded manner IN
which Mr.. MARITIME acted to-day shows
conclusively that Thomas Clearys trial
will not be called then. Neither will
s'Charlie" Reilly be brought TO the bar,
but one OF the alleged bribe giyers will
have to come to the front. 1t is under
stood that it will be either the arch con-
spirator Jake" Sharp or the ex-Presldent
of the Broadway road, James A. Rich,
mond.
Mr. MARITIME met with somewhat of
A SET BACK
at the hands of Judge Barrett. The Court
of Oyer and Terminer was, after the Cleary
Jury were discharged, adjourned until ii
O'Clock. 1t was noon before Mr.. MARITIME
appeared. He was followed i'll few min
utes by the Judge. Mr. MARITIME requested
that the court adjourn over until Monday,
when he hoped to have certain matters IN
more definite shape. To this Judge
Barrett replied by asking whether there
would be any business then. Upon Mr..
Marines telling him that he would then
make some definite move looking toward
the bringing of some case before the court
for trial, Judge Barrett said:"IOu are per
haps aware that next week is the last week
OF the term?'
Mr.. MARITIME answered that he was
aware of this, and also said: My desire
for adiourning the court till Monday is to
yet certain matters before Your Honor
and dispose of any preliminary motions
or hindranceS that may arise, that We can
begin work either next week or immc-
diately upon the opening of the April
term of the court"
MUST END THIS TERM.
Whatever may done on Monday" an
Swered the Judge, Il cannot possibly
enter into any trial that would lap over
until next term. | was only assigned
here during February, but | gave you
this month also and allowed my civil bust
ness TO stand aside. On the first Monday
in April will sit in Special Term. Be
sides this ! have considerable accumu-
lated work TO dispose Of. In view OF these
matters should much rather you would
have some other Judge to sit here next
week, so as to enable me to catch up with
my work"
Judge Barrett then adjourned the court
until monday morning at IL o'clock, with
the understanding that Mr.. MARITIME was
to have some other Judge TO take his
place. Next month Presiding Judge Van
Brunt, OF the Supreme Court, will hold
Over and Terminer. Mr.. MARITIME says:
MY plans are not yet fully maturcd. !
10 not care to have this court die, how
ever, without giving Inc some opportunity
to make move in Doodle matters If !
think it advisable To do SO. | cannot get
anyone to sit next month. l shall have
to wait till the April term"
MI MARITIME seems TO be very much
disappointed at the stand Judge Barrett
has taken in the matter. II any trial Is
begun within a month Col. Fellows will
not he able to he present, rs word was
received from Hot Springs, Ark, to-day
that he was very i'll.
